[b]I`m still new to poker, but...[/b]

I`ve been playing poker just over a year now.
 
If more people are playing I don`t think they are harder to beat - the best players will always come out on top - I think u just have to change your mindset.
 
What I mean is, its simple math[U]s[/U] (not math, which is incorrect. ;) )
If u enter a tourny with 100 people, u will have more chance of winning than if u enter a tourny with 500 people. However, because there are more people in the tourny, the prize pool is bigger.
 
So, the mindset thing. U will make the money fewer times the bigger the field, but when you do u will make more cash.
 
What I do think, but I struggle to explain this one, a good players odds of winning the pot diminishes when there are more poor players in the game. What I mean here is if u r delt AA and u r playing against good players, your raise is respected a lot of the time. U get heads up with someone that u know u will be about 5:1 fav. 
 
However, using the same scenario with less experienced players, your raise is like a challenge to them, because "any 2 cards can win" "my 92 is sooted" and "any ace is a monster. Kicker, what???" etc. So that same raise gives u more callers, reducing your odds to 2:1 or less. Then when a flop of 922 hits, or 2 diamonds, u don`t know where u r!!!
 
You need to change your strategy.
 
That is my opinion, for what it`s worth :cool:
